Remember former governor of Maryland and current State Comptroller William Donald Schaefer? You know, the charming 84 year-old who harassed a 24 year-old administrative aid by watching her ass as she brought over a cup of tea and instructed her to “walk again.� (He later said that “this little girl� should be “happy that I observed her going out the door.�)
Well Schaefer is back and as classy as ever.
Schaefer told Washington Post columnist Marc Fisher in comments published yesterday that [opponent Janet S.] Owens, the Anne Arundel County executive, is a "prissy little miss" who wears "long dresses, looks like Mother Hubbard -- it's sort of like she was a man." Schaefer made similar comments in a taped interview with NewsChannel 8. "She's got these long clothes on and an old-fashioned hairdo," he said. "You know it sort of makes you real mad."
The insults are bad. The fact that the dress- and hair-style of an opponent could make him him “real mad� is hilarious/baffling.

as usual, since it's a woman he's up against, he criticizes her wardrobe and hairdo, not her politics. what's an old woman who doesn't have a "backside" that every 84-year old man would want to look at, doing out in public?? that's the real crime.
Yeah, William? Well male patterned balding makes me bloody furious!
"long dresses, looks like Mother Hubbard -- it's sort of like she was a man."
No wonder I can't get any cred as a man's man. I don't ever wear long dresses nor do I look like Mother Hubbard. I bet I'd look pretty darn cool if I did, though, especially if I did what's left of my hair up in an old-fashioned hairdo. I've got to wonder if I could fit that hairdo under the hard hat, though.
sounds like he's getting senile or something to me
